" The inside looks like a crystal cave because the limestone has leaked calcite into little stalactites, " says Lin, who entered the tomb and used lidar (light detection and ranging) to explore it on the show.

“里面看起来就像一个水晶洞，因为石灰岩中的方解石漏成了小钟乳石，”他入墓室，并在节目中光雷达（光探测和测距）行了探索。

Made of calcite rods, the same stuff that forms limestone, they constituted the earliest visual systems known.

Their calcite exoskeletons made for hardy fossils that would remain intact for hundreds of millions of years to come.

它们的方解石甲壳形成了坚韧的化石，在接下来的数亿年都维持完好。

The example you're looking at right now is calcite, and when you're seeing double, it's because light with one polarization is getting bent at a different rate than light with the other polarization.

你现在看到的例子是方解石，当你看到重影时， 是因为一种偏振的光以不同的速率被弯曲， 而另一种偏振的光则不是。

Between the size of a grain of rice and a small lima bean, a recent discoveries have found calcite and magnetite crystals chips in it or fragments.

大小介于一粒米和一颗小利马豆之间，最近的发现表明其中含有方解石和磁铁矿晶体碎片。

Calcite is the more stable of the two and less prone to dissolving over time, so most mollusk shells have a sturdy outer layer of calcite.

方解石是两者中更稳定的一种，随着时间的推移不易溶解，因此大多数软体动物的壳都有一层坚固的方解石外层。

Plus, they were covered from their rounded heads to their many segmented feet in an exoskeleton made of calcite and chitin.

此外，它们从圆圆的头部到多节的脚部都覆盖着由方解石和几丁质构成的外骨骼。
